Default LR Parts / intro.

Hi everyone, Im new to the forums but have been flicking through for a while now. (only recently signed up though). I've learnt quite alot already off you guys.

I've owned an '03 LR sedan (cl) for about a year now. I bought it to drive whilst I was building my project car.

But the bug has got me and I cant stand driving a stock car anymore.

So far I've installed the 2.0 auto air deflector and K&N panel filter, tinted the windows, richbrook shift knob and ford zetec floor mats.

But the main things I need help with are.

The alloy / stainless cover that goes over the spark plug leads on the engine. I've been trying to find a nice one, but all I can find have 'RS' /'ST' or are extremely expensive. Anyone know any cheaper places?

Also, I think its the zetec models had these grey/silver trim peices on the door cards, just above the arm rests. Im thinking of buying these from ford, But Im wondering if they will fit the rear doors as mine is a sedan? Would there be a difference in design on the rear door card that would affect this dress strip?

Hopefully the car goes to get whiteline springs and swaybars installed in the next week or so. Im just waiting for it come back from the panel beaters (someone rear ended me : )

Other plans are to get some decent wheels and tyres, and Hi Tech to do a mild exhaust.

Thanks for your help
Greg.

Welcome aboard greg. Great to see another 03 Focus.

Door cards are a bastard as they are all glued and don't easily dismantle. Ford will probably try to sell you the entire door!

Spark plug covers:

Thanks Very much Melbzetec.

Bugger about the door cards though. Im might still enquire if the part is available separate to the full door card. All they can say is no.

I just had a look at your cardomain site as well. Very nice zetec you have there. Simple and stylish. It looks great.
